We also offer dedicated swimming classes where parents can introduce babies to the water in a safe, controlled environment, helping them build confidence.

Children of this age are developing their own likes and dislikes, so we can help them explore what interests them best. Our classes continue to combine achievement and teamwork with fun and focus, while preparing children for more advanced activities.

The range of classes we offer this age group include several stand-out favourites. Brazilian martial art Jiu Jitsu is a mixture of judo and traditional jiu jitsu performed in a traditional kimono, which helps children to burn off energy in a carefully controlled environment, while Afro-Brazilian martial art Capoeira combines dance moves with combat techniques.

Classic Dance teaches elegant, graceful movements, while strengthening and toning key muscles, improving co-ordination and flexibility.

At this age group, our Swimming classes concentrate on perfecting different strokes and building stamina in the water, with expert coaches supporting the development of your children’s abilities.

Our teenager members have specific needs as they progress towards adulthood, and our expert coaches use the club’s facilities to best challenge and develop their skills to a higher level. This age group needs an increased focus on building self-esteem, confidence and a positive body image, which is particularly important and relevant at this stage.

Key classes that develop such skills include a range of sports and dance classes. As team sports, Basketball and Football are ideal for developing motor skills, such as strength and speed, as well as reducing shyness and improving personal self-esteem. Our Dance classes build valuable social skills through developing dance routines in group sessions, improving your child's ability to work with others, building self-confidence and developing co-ordination, strength and flexibility.
